Nov 2007: Mexico förbättrar sitt resultat i Latin American Globalization Index 2007

Mexico, Latin America's second-largest economy, improved its score compared to last year thanks to higher exports and imports per GDP and slightly higher tourism receipts and remittances per GDP, which helped offset small declines in FDI per GDP. Its score of 8.83 means Mexico is more globalized than the average Mercosur and Andean Community country, but less so than the average CAFTA country.

The Latin Business Chronicle index of 18 countries looks at six factors that measure a country's links with the outside world:

• Exports of goods and services as a percent of GDP.
• Imports of goods and services as a percent of GDP.
• Foreign direct investment as a percent of GDP.
• Tourism receipts as a percent of GDP.
• Remittances as a percent of GDP.
• Internet penetration.
